Hotels With Pools in Luang Prabang Province, Laos

The stay experience was very good, the sound insulation needed to be improved, the room was clean and tidy, the facilities were complete, the bedding was comfortable and the rest was good. There is Chinese service at the front desk, and check-in and check-out are very fast. The hotel is conveniently located, convenient to travel, and the overall price is very high. Next time you have the opportunity to stay in Luang Prabang, you will choose to stay.

This hotel feels so much like a vacation getaway, it's definitely in my top 10 favorites! The decor is incredibly charming, and staying amidst vast rice paddies truly makes it feel like a different world compared to outside the hotel.

The room was clean, tidy, bright, cozy, and well-ventilated with no strange odors. The bathroom was also very clean, with no hidden dirty spots. The bed made by the Lao staff was incredibly neat, even tidier than what you'd find back home – a definite plus! The front desk staff, both the ladies and gentlemen, all spoke Chinese, which gave us a great sense of security.

Great location with convenient transportation. The hotel's interior is beautiful and pleasant, featuring typical local architectural style. They offer Chinese-speaking staff, which was very helpful for communication.

There was a discrepancy between the photos shown online and the actual room facilities. I chose this hotel after comparing it with two or three other properties, and the photos were a major factor in my decision, so this was very disappointing. I requested that the misleading photos be removed. The room change was only within the same category, and even though it was off-season with vacant rooms available, I was still assigned the smallest room. If other rooms in the same category were available, I feel there could have been more consideration. That level of service was disappointing. A silk bathrobe was provided, but personally I prefer cotton. The amenities included a toothbrush, shower cap, cotton swabs, hairdryer, shampoo, soap, and body lotion. There was more than enough complimentary drinking water provided, which was reassuring. There was no minibar, but finding a French press and coffee beans in the room was a small but pleasant surprise. I really wish there had been mosquito coils or insect repellent on the balcony. The breakfast was quite good, but it was exactly the same every day, so I think staying more than three nights would become repetitive. The room furnishings and overall atmosphere were beautiful. It has a unique charm and character that newer architecture simply cannot replicate. Bicycles are available free of charge, including both regular bicycles and mountain bikes. I walked to the old town once, and it took about 15 minutes. It’s walkable, but if location is a priority, staying in the old town would be a better choice. Also, unlike many other 4-star or higher hotels, there was no shuttle service to the old town. Since I rented a motorbike, it wasn’t a problem for me, but with the rainy season approaching, this could become inconvenient. I’m glad I stayed once, but I wouldn’t return.

I found this gem of a hotel in Luang Prabang, and it was a truly amazing experience! The **Ya Hotel was definitely the biggest surprise of my several-day trip to Luang Prabang! From the moment I landed, I felt the warmth and convenience far exceeded my expectations. The hotel owner is a super nice, handsome Chinese man. A graduate of the National University of Laos, he's not only fluent in Lao but also deeply knowledgeable about local culture and customs. Before we left, we learned that we needed to prepare sticky rice for the morning alms offering. The owner thoughtfully pointed out the best street corner to view it from, and even emphasized the importance of maintaining silence and avoiding casual photography. Every day before heading out, he offered advice on food, drinks, and entertainment, and he always offered expert recommendations—from Laotian hot pot stalls hidden in alleys to authentic French bread at the night market. He even shared his bargaining tips, making it feel like I had a ”walking guide.” The hotel's location is impeccable! Located in the heart of the city, it's a 5-minute walk to the main route for the morning alms offering, allowing you to immerse yourself in this millennium-old Buddhist tradition without having to get up early and rush. Breakfast is particularly plentiful. A three-minute walk takes you to a restaurant on the main road. The aroma wafts from the open kitchen, nestled among bamboo trees. The owner highly recommends the basil, onion, and ground pork with sticky rice, served on a bamboo plate. The meaty aroma, combined with the aroma of the herbs, is incredibly appetizing. For just 15 yuan per person, you'll be completely satisfied. For a French-inspired experience, the corner bakery's freshly baked croissants paired with Laotian black coffee are a local favorite. I was lucky enough to run into a few fellow Tianjin residents who were craving steamed buns and fried dough sticks. The owner arranged everything with just a phone call—really nice! The hotel's location was a must-do for the evening: a 10-minute walk to the Mekong River. Stroll along the banks, watching the silhouettes of fishermen casting their nets fade into the sunset. Then, head to Mount Phousi, a 10-minute walk to its base. Our host had warned us that sunset over Mount Phousi is a must-experience in Luang Prabang. Climbing the cobblestone path, we'd encounter local couples clutching bouquets and tourists clutching cameras. The breeze carried the scent of incense from the mountain temples. We reached the summit just as the sun was setting, and the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers merged below us. The city's old French-style buildings and golden temple domes were bathed in a warm orange. Only when the last rays of light faded and the lanterns below gradually lit up did we reluctantly make our way back. The French Street Night Market is easily accessible from the hotel. Every day after 6 PM, the lanterns on the pedestrian street light up, and strolling there from the hotel is just in time for the night market's peak activity, allowing us to return to our rooms whenever we feel tired. The hotel's newly renovated rooms are bright and comfortable, with a fresh French-Lao design and thoughtful details. During the day, I beat the heat in the pool, the fragrance of frangipani flowers from the garden drifting onto the balcony. In the evening, after watching the sunset from Mount Phousi, I sat on the terrace, sipping a Laotian beer and quietly daydreaming, perfectly recreating the languid rhythm of Luang Prabang. Whether it was a morning shower after watching the alms offerings or a soak after a tiring night market stroll, it was an instant revitalizer. During my few days here, I truly experienced what it means to ”make a foreign country feel ordinary.” The owner, in fluent Lao, helped us with the car rental issue and chatted with my parents in Chinese about itineraries. This sense of trust, transcending language, was incredibly reassuring. If you want to fully experience Luang Prabang—watching monks walk barefoot through the ancient streets in the morning light, watching the sunset over Mount Phousi at dusk, and browsing for handicrafts at the night market—the **A Hotel is a surefire choice. It's an exceptionally cost-effective gem!

The owner is really great, definitely worth staying here. I'll be back next time! They even gave me a tour of the scenic spots and offered me tea. We chatted about life experiences like old friends, especially since we've both worked overseas for a long time, so we really connected. Wishing the owner all the best!

You come to this hotel to stay at the Explorer Tents. They really are a one-of-a-kind accommodation experience. Air-conditioning in the tents is very powerful, so no problem at all. The toilet area is outside but it's the glamping experience. There are two pools, one at the spa which is just magical and one Main infinity pool. There is a sauna at the spa centre, all free for use. There is a so-called beach where you can actually stand at the banks of the Namkhan River. There are other outdoor activities dotted around. The breakfast options are small but should be enough to satisfy. The location is very secluded, so when you do get to the hotel, you won't be coming out to the old Town, despite having free shuttle services. I opted to book a transfer with the hotel to the airport as I didn't want to risk missing my flight, with no LOCA cars willing to enter this area. I stayed at Explorer Tent No. 2

Facilities: Very complete Service: Room attendants, front desk reception is very nice, there is also a coffee shop in the hotel, beer and drinks are available Environment: The greenery is very good, there are many small tomatoes in the garden

I personally visit Luang Prabang about 30 times a year for work. This time, I just wanted to relax with my family, so I picked a random hotel I hadn't stayed at before from Trip.com. Anyway, we had a good two-day break. Everyone has different standards regarding personal hygiene, dining, location, etc., so I'll skip those details. Firstly, it seems like the free pick-up and drop-off service from the train station is no longer available. Also, it's not $15 per vehicle, but $15 per person. In my case, I just arranged my own transport from the station. Even if you haggle, a taxi to the city center should cost a maximum of 300,000 kip per vehicle, so those reading this can decide for themselves. However, the hotel's free shuttle service was very convenient. I'm not sure if it's because there aren't many guests yet, but instead of fixed departure and pick-up times, it was like a regular taxi, available for departure and pick-up anytime. So, we made good use of it once a day in the evening to go to the night market.
